Marketing majorJ.D. Candidate, University of Kentucky
Milcah Cobb ’19, a marketing major, is in her first year of law school at the University of Kentucky.
Cobb is a first-generation college graduate who was involved in several leadership positions during her time at Asbury, including serving as a RA (Resident Assistant) and as a member of her Merciful Class cabinet.
After graduating from Asbury, Cobb worked for the Kentucky Department of Revenue for eighteen months and then as a paralegal for eight months. Since then, she has felt God calling her to pursue an education in law, which led her to apply for law school at the J. David Rosenberg School of Law at the University of Kentucky.
“I felt the Lord leading me to practice law,” said Cobb. “I am passionate about justice and repairing the brokenness of our legal system.”
Cobb continues, “I enjoy learning how to become an advocate in the legal sense of the word. Standing for those who can’t stand for themselves is a privilege I do not take lightly.”
Throughout the course of her previous work experience, her new studies at law school and her Asbury education, Cobb has learned much about the American Justice system and how it functions. Along with gaining a strong education, she has continued to grow, not only in her passion for law, but also in her faith.
“Because of my Asbury education, I took my first law class,” she said. “Asbury provided me with a strong foundation in education but also in my faith, which I have relied on heavily.”
Cobb’s advice to current and prospective Asbury students:
“Don’t rush anything, savor where you are and learn from it. The rest will come. Asbury is dedicated to its students. The professors want to know you and take the initiative to do so. Asbury is a place where you will be challenged to grow in your faith and character.”
